These were a blast to read! I kept trying to come up with my own fragrance ideas … that mac-n-corn is one of the most knuckleheaded things! I love the photo though — bacon, the perfect finishing touch!

Thanks Andy, working on it :)
chayaruchama, I think there’s a surprising number of firms that make voodoo and hoodoo themed fragrances, some quasi-well known, others sort of gimmicky-touristy or obscure. Hove is certainly one I’ve meant to try just for the fun of it, though. Thanks for the virtual soup, very tasty.
greeneyes thanks!
Emotenote, that’s not a combo I’d heard of before, thanks. If desperate, I usually brew green tea with fresh ginger slices, with a bit of lemon and honey to make it go down smoothly. That’s one I’ll have to remember to try, too. Heh, I’d love to see a hell hound poodle! That would be hilarious. Except for the dog. I have a feeling most dogs would take exception to the whole thing of costuming :P
Teri, thanks for well wishes… I’m not sure any women would ever dress up as a coconut, because inevitablely some drunk stranger at a party is going to lean in and say “what a lovely set of coconuts” :P

I think I just found the reference..
Hove perfumes in New Orleans.
I’ll sweep through, just to be sure…

Howling at the killer coconuts!! I sense a halloween costume in the making.

Do feel better soon. Just tell ET to skip phoning home and just go. His mama’s callin’. ;)

Wow, what a cool reference. Sorry to hear the Aliens have landed up your nose, an old remedy I learned from a healing woman is fenugreek and thyme tea. It actually works pretty well, tastes nasty but your house will smell great. I went over and read a bit of men and mules. Having just moved south its a really interesting piece of anthropology in itself.

My husband is going as Hagrid (he’s 6′6″ without shoes) we could get him and your boys together, then he would really look huge. He’s trying to figure out how to get our very small ‘teddy bear’ dog (poodle mix) to look like a boar-hound. Our girls are going as a demon cat and a purple witch. The witch is 6 and wants a costume that is glamorous and yet allows lots of make-up. I suggested one of the Hiltons but no go.

Well, my angel-
You’ve done it again…
I send you virtual chicken soup, and much sympathy regarding your prolonged plight…
You DO know, don’t you, that we PAY those lil’ suckers to incubate ?
That is the chief aim of their first 10 years or so…
It sucks, big time.

SO funny, your post.
I forget where, but I recently found a perfume post online about an old New Orleans firm which is hoodoo inspired, similarly hysterical, and affordable [it was on one of the less-frequently viewed blogs- I wish I could recall].

Take care, and feel better soon.
Jewish mother sends you love-

Please, get better soon! My best wishes and kick that aliens out…

Fortunately no, not green yet. I’m sort of on the cusp of considering going back to the doctor’s, but since I’m slowly improving I’m loathe to risk catching some new awful virus.

And will get better, promise. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Are those aliens green? Are you taking antibiotics? I had a visit from some truly terrifying nose demons recently and only two rounds of increasingly serious pills exorcised them.

Furthermore, this was, as always, a thoroughly entertaining post.

Now get better.
